Important Notes: Make sure your magnet is applied to a magnet-compatible part of your car, like the door. (Not sure if your car is magnet-compatible? Test it first with a refrigerator magnet. If it sticks, you’re good to go. If not, try our car door decals.) Also, make sure your vehicle surface is smooth, clean and dust free. To protect your vehicle, remove and reapply your magnet every 2-3 days. Clean the back of the magnet and surface weekly with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Get noticed
Outfit your vehicles with personalized car magnets for quick and effective on-the-go marketing. Durable and weather-resistant, our magnetic car signs can get your business name and logo noticed by pedestrians and other drivers – and can help you make a strong first impression. Our PVC-free vehicle magnets can also help create a consistent, branded look across multiple trucks, cars or vans.
Before installing
Car magnets are a great option if you’re looking for a custom size and shape for your car. Before getting started, you’ll want to see if your car is compatible with our magnets by placing a small refrigerator magnet on it. If it sticks, you’re good to go. If not, take a look at our car door decals – which are made with a long-lasting adhesive. Most car doors are made out of a metal material like steel, which works great with our vehicle magnets. But some newer car doors are made with smaller amounts of metal, which magnets won’t stick to. Note: Follow the care and usage tips in the FAQ section to avoid damaging your vehicle.

What Makes it Better
PVC-Free: PVC-free products are an exciting and increasingly popular alternative to products made from traditional plastics, many of which have significant environmental impact. A product labeled PVC-free is made without polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic that's hazardous to both humans and the environment. PVC-free materials are typically just as durable as their more well-known counterparts.

Our car magnets stick to ferromagnetic metals like iron, steel, nickel and cobalt, but won't hold on aluminum, fiberglass, wood or plastic. The easiest way to check is to press a refrigerator magnet against the spot where you want to apply your magnetic car sign. If it sticks, you're good to go. If not, our car door decals – made with a long-lasting adhesive – are a great alternative.
Had body work done? Polyester resin filler, used in most repairs, can prevent the magnet from holding in those areas. A quick fridge magnet test will tell you everything you need to know before ordering.
With proper care and use, custom car magnets can last about 2 years. At that point, we recommend replacing your magnet to prevent it from falling off while driving.
To get the most out of your vehicle magnet:
- Remove it before any professional car washes or power washing
- Avoid using it in extreme weather conditions
- Remove and reapply your car magnet every 2-3 days
Note: Applying any material to a painted surface without following these care and usage instructions may result in damage to the surface. See our terms and conditions for more information.
For color, we recommend choosing a design that's different from – yet complementary to – your vehicle's color. This helps your magnetic car sign stand out and makes it easier to maintain a consistent look across multiple vehicles with different colors. Keep your messaging simple and clear for maximum impact.
A few design tips to keep in mind:
- Avoid small, floating elements
- Avoid very fine lines and detail
- Keep edges smooth and simple
- Upload high-resolution artwork
- Keep important text away from the safety lines in the design tool
Proper application makes a real difference — with the right technique, your vehicle magnet should stay in place for up to 2 years. For optimal conformability, apply at temperatures above 50°F and follow these steps:
1. Clean: Wipe down both the vehicle surface and the back of the magnet with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Make sure the surface is free of dirt, dust and debris. 2. Dry: Let both surfaces air dry completely – any moisture trapped underneath can affect adhesion. 3. Wax: Apply a thin layer of wax to both the vehicle surface and the back of the magnet. This creates a protective barrier that helps prevent paint damage, moisture collection and visible residue lines, particularly in warm weather or with heavy sun exposure. 4. Apply: Place the magnet on a flat, metallic surface free of bumps, curves and rust, pressing firmly from the center outward to remove any air bubbles. Never slide the magnet to reposition – always lift and reapply.
You'll know it's properly installed when the magnet is fully adhered, there are no air bubbles and all corners are lying flat against the surface.
To protect your vehicle's paint, remove and reapply your magnet every 2-3 days – leaving it on for extended periods can cause damage. Clean the back of the magnet and vehicle surface weekly with a damp cloth and mild detergent to prevent debris and buildup. Keep your magnet away from petrochemicals such as gas tanks and always remove it before professional car washes or power washing.
Our car magnets are built for real-world conditions. Wind tunnel tested and highway safe at 80+ mph, they're also salt-spray and brine resistant – making them a reliable choice for winter driving, coastal climates and everything in between. The corrosion-resistant construction means rust and moisture won't compromise the hold over time.
For extreme temperatures (above 160°F or below -15°F), we recommend removing your magnet until conditions normalize. Always remove it before commercial car washes or power washing to protect both the magnet and your vehicle's surface.
Yes. We recommend removing it before any professional car washes or power washing to avoid damage to the vehicle surface.
Good news – our magnets are wind tunnel tested and highway safe at 80+ mph, so you can feel confident taking them on the freeway. A few simple steps will give you extra peace of mind:
Choose a rounded shape or a design with rounded corners to minimize wind resistance and lift at higher speeds
Make sure the magnet is placed completely flat against the surface with no air pockets or lifted edges before you hit the road
Apply at temperatures above 50°F for the best fit and hold
